  • I have absolutely done nothing wrong and while i have done nothing wrong. I want to apologise to my Buddhist, Muslim and Hindu brothers and sisters if my words by any means have hurt you
  • I don’t apologise for speaking the truth
  • These are the facts and that’s the reality of it 

While claiming that he would definitely return to Sri Lanka, Pastor Jerome Fernando via a live video stream apologized yesterday if his comments caused any hurt to the Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic faiths.   Pastor Fernando made the comments while joining a mass worked off in Mirihana via a video link.   “I preached the gospel truth. I was preaching what was in the Bible. It is still there in the Bible. I have done nothing wrong. I want to yet apologize to my Buddhist brothers, Hindu brothers, Muslim brothers and sisters, if my words by any means have hurt you emotionally. I humbly apologize to the Buddhist clergy in Sri Lanka”, he said.
